American MetabolisisJun’21 -> Dec’21San Francisco, Silo Gallery, Santa Barbara
American Metabolisis explores assimilation as digestion, how migrants, queers, and artists are metabolized by empire and how we metabolize it in return. Through archival receipts, misnaming rituals, and poetic computation, the work transforms bureaucratic residue into lyric form. Each misspelled coffee cup becomes a data point in belonging’s slow experiment, a study of how identity dissolves and reforms inside another body.
